Rainbow Collective

Rainbow Collective

Since 2006 Hannan Majid and Richard York have produced, shot and directed documentaries in South Africa, Bangladesh, Iraq and the UK and have won awards in Dubai, France, USA and the Czech Republic.

Rainbow Collective, is a unique production company, formed as a social enterprise and committed to raising awareness on issues of human and childrens' rights through powerful cinematic documentaries and have collaborated with Amnesty International, The Consortium For Street Children, War On Want, TRAID, Labour Behind The Label, International Labor Rights Forum and many others.

In addition to our own production work, we have run and facilitated numerous youth training schemes, the results of which have been screened in the House of Commons, the House of Lords, The BFI, The Equality and Human Rights Commission and at film festivals across the UK.

After more than a decade producing independent and broadcast documentaries and supporting social justice and workers’ rights around the world, Rainbow Collective are now training activists to produce their own films using nothing more than a mobile phone.

In Cambodia, Bangladesh, Spain and the UK, they have mentored trade unions, workers collectives, radical poitical groups and homeless shelters to produce their own impactful campaign videos with whatever resources they have available. In this workshop, Rainbow Collective Directors Hannan Majid and Richard York will provide a practical hands-on guide on how to get the most out of the tech at your disposal to shoot, edit and distribute film for social change. Bring a phone, camera or whatever you have with you!
